[Chapter-delegates] ION Bangladesh 2016

[Olga Cavalli]

Dear Jahangir,

thanks for your message and as you can see from other messages, your
chapter is not alone.

What I have explained to ISOC several times is that those from the
community that are not involved in the chapter´s activities or do not know
ISOC in general, get confused with these uncoordinated activities.

We in ISOC Argentina believe that the local chapter must be the first point
of contact for all the activities that ISOC organizes at the national level.

The Chapter Adivisor Council will surely work on this type of issues.

Best regards from Argentina

Olga

> Dear Delegates,

> Internet Society Bangladesh Dhaka Chapter (http://www.isoc.org.bd/dhaka/)

> Dhaka, Bangladesh in collaboration with BdNOG. This is indeed a great

> forward ISOC's mission in Bangladesh.

> We only learnt about this event from ISOC360 website when one of our

> since there have been no prior communication from ISOC (global) with the
> chapter about this event we could not respond to our members query about
> the chapter's role in this event. As such, we felt bit uncomfortable. Our
> chapter is fairly new (since 2011) and we are yet to learn how ISOC
> (global) works with chapter in organizing local events. Is it usual that
> the local chapter is not informed before doing a local event with another
> local entity? we thought it could have been a great way to strengthen a
> very active chapter like ours if we were given the opportunity to work in
> collaboration or even mentioned!.
>
> We are concerned thinking that  a very active and highly enthusiastic
> local chapter has very little value/importance to ISOC (global) in
> advancing ISOC's mission in Bangladesh. Our members are also beginning to
> wonder how well the local chapter is connected with ISOC (global).
>
> ​We would like to hear about other chapter's opinion about this.​
